Healthy. Wholesome. Family. Life.
Our blog emphasizes healthy, wholesome, family-friendly, life-giving choices.
We rarely realize the life that we can speak into other people’s lives not only by the things that we say but also by our actions. The world that we live in can often be a dark, sad, lonely world, and love, light, and honor can be hard to come by. One thing that I’ve learned from Franicia, though, is how far-reaching the effects of the love that we show to people can go.
Read MoreAs we’ve many times and shared with numerous people in our lives, we are believers in the Bible and followers of Jesus Christ. While peaceful protests are fine, unlawful violence and destruction is unacceptable. There has been so much violence, hate, and division lately, and we continue to pray for healing in our nation.
Read MoreYesterday Priscilla asked Tim when we were going to put our stuff back in our house in Pensacola again. It’s her first move that she can barely understand, and it’s hitting her hard with tears. This is a painful thing and first-time realization our children, like many military children, have to go through at this very young age. Please pray for her. We may have to buy little gifts again to make moving fun like we did when we moved from overseas.
Read MoreThe Lord is so good, and He knows what we need. Our schedule has changed a bit due to some unforeseen circumstances, but we’re trusting in Him.
We didn’t find out until it was really late on Thursday that we didn’t have enough room in our twenty-eight foot trailer and our U-Haul for all of our things. Praise God that the company we’re using had another trailer they could deliver yesterday evening, and, though pricey, was not as much as we feared it could be.
Read MoreThis. Our life might seem glamorous at times, but it’s hard. We’re looking forward to rest —- rest from packing, rest from setting up a new house, rest from the painful goodbyes. And this verse here — it’s just beautiful. Whether we’re worn out doing many things ourselves, healing from autoimmune issues, almost killed by a terrorist or dying of blood clots (twice), going into labor and naturally delivering an eighth sweet baby, in bed miscarrying at a friend’s home while on a trip, losing a dear mother to breast cancer, getting denied housing due to the number of children we have, or many other trials we face along the way in this journey of life, we cling to Him.
Read MoreHow rich words are! This is one way we study the Bible using Noah Webster’s 1828 Dictionary.
Read MorePraise God He is risen! Yesterday, we were reflecting many things about prayer and worship after church service and evening family Bible and worship time. It was there we found out another new piece of what happened in Chattanooga on July 16 as Tim recalled a specific moment that day.
Read MoreAnd she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Matthew 1:21
Read MoreAs we remember God's goodness, I hope that you'll be able to look back on your life and reflect on what God has done for you. Often, we're so busy that we don't do much reflecting and contemplation on our lives.
Read MoreWe've been feeling pretty encouraged and blessed lately. Like everyone else, we have our fair share of trials. Recently, we've been dealing with financial issues where we weren't and still aren't being paid a vast sum of money -- in the thousands already.
Read MoreI was blessed with a wonderful family growing up. My parents were faithful to teach my brothers and me how we should live according to God's Word. Being part of a faithful church was also a huge part of our lives.
Read MoreYou never know what type of opportunity the Lord will bring your way until you ask. We prayed for a way to be able to share hundreds of Gospel tracts in the short period of time that we would be living here. He made a way!
Read MoreAs we were driving back home from our Thanksgiving (story here and here) celebration, we spotted the man we had seen walking many times in the morning and afternoons. What intrigued us the most was that he would walk along the side of the road as his two tame dogs sat on the back of the walking caribou. It's a sight you have to witness for yourself.
Read MoreWe normally stay home or travel to family member's homes to thank the Lord and celebrate Thanksgiving together. This time we thought we could do something different especially since we lived overseas.
Read MoreWe've enjoyed buying and sharing Gospel tracts from Living Waters for a few years now but have never bought this many before.
The Lord opened up more opportunities for us to get the Gospel message out during this time and we are excited about the possibilities!
May lost souls be reached and true conversion take place.
Read MoreOur mission is to encourage people to love the Lord and please Him in all that they do. We also love delicious, wholesome food, and enjoy life together as a family. Here you'll find encouragement and tools to help you on your journey to a healthy, wholesome life with your family.
